Just got back from an interview at Griptonite...
Not sure how it went I was bit nervous, as I always am with interviews. I would more than likely be doing hand held game pixel art. Most of the guys I talked to that work there like it and it seems like a great place to get a start, and cut my teeth. I ran into a few friendly faces, which is always good to see. I also… -
[CANCELLED] Looking for someone to 3D model a car part for 3D printing
I am no longer looking to complete this project, mental health bills depleted all my funds. I am trying to do a grill and headlight swap on my car (1982 Volvo 245) to an older version (70's style), unfortunately I can't find any used parts so I figured I could 3D print it as it is originally plastic any how. So what I'm… -
Product Viz - normal shading problem
Hi guys, I've played with Marmoset for a while now and decided to to a very small product viz type project as an introduction to UE4, which I've been meaning to get my hands dirty with for ages. Anyway, so far so good(ish) but I've run into a snag which I can't figure out. The first image is of a spindle in a bycicle pedal… -

Answered: What's your Quixel Workflow?
So I picked up the Quixel 2.0 suite during that holiday sale, and so far I've been pretty happy with it. I think I like it a little more than the Substance family, mostly because I'm already really familiar with Photoshop. I have, however, been finding it a little hard to wrap my mind around a proper workflow for this… -
Curvature maps and gradient maps for hard edge bakes
Hey Typically when I bake my guns, I just rely on the basics, AO and Normal and a cavity map converted from the normal. A while ago I did the swap from single smoothing group baking (no cage, only ray distances in xnormal) to cage + smoothing groups + SG UV splits. Of course, when you bake this method, the hard edge is… -
Help Required! Career Dilemma...
Hey guys, I'm having a bit of a mid-job-crisis at the moment and really just looking for a bit of advice, specifically from people currently working as environment artists, but also character artists who've had trouble with anatomy and the 'arty' side of the job in the past... I've gone down the character art route since… -
Modular Knight Characters
Hey everyone, I've been working on this project for a while and decided that it would be very beneficial for everyone if i keep track of my progress here. It's about making modular characters for the game we are working on: Knights of Azariah. The idea is to have an army of customizable characters using Blueprints to… -
Re: Normal Maps Look Strange
A couple other things to try re: pixelation Make sure your UVs are clamped to straight edges if the shape is straight in 3D. If the edge is slightly rotated or angled in UV space it will take a significantly higher resolution texture for it to look sharp. Increase the sampling from 4x to 16x or 64x As far as using multiple… -
Re: Advice please
Well, no real details on how this is being used makes it difficult enough to give feedback on, and with the stipulations. Whew. Anyway... From the ground up... There's no real foundation, the outer brick just goes straight into the ground. The base could be a thicker, stronger stone that is feather out with weight at the…
